The Wildcat
is another fine addition to the FX line of rifles..
It does not have the traditional rifle shape but nevertheless it is
comfortable to hold and shoot. It is a good choice for the shooters who
prefer a shorter length rifle.

The
first thing a shooter will notice is that the Wildcat looks very
similar to the FX Bobcat. And we've already had calls from
shooters asking what the differences are between the Bobcat MkII and
the new Wildcat. And there are a few differences that separate it
from the Bobcat MkII although the power and performance are almost
identical. I'll list them here so it will be easy to see the
differences and similarities.
DIFFERENCES:
1)
The Wildcat's cocking lever is placed
farther forward making for a little more natural arm motion
when cocking. One quickly discovers that it isn't necessary to remove
one's head from
the stock to cock either rifle. A shooter can keep his head in the
shooting position and quickly and easily cock the rifle for the next
shot.
2) The Wildcat does not have slots in the butte for storing extra
magazines as the Bobcat does.
3)
The Wildcat has an air gauge in the front of the air tube but does not
have the dual gauges on the butte that the Bobcat has
which show air pressure in the gun's tank and the regulator as
well. However both guns are regulated.
4) The Wildcat is a bit shorter and has a smaller body than the Bobcat.
5)
The Wildcat magazine is a standard wheel with no outer covering. The
Wildcat will be quicker and easier to reload by simply pushing
pellets into the magazine holes. Conversely, the Bobcat magazine loads
differently than the Wildcat and other rotary
type magazines. Shooters that may have had other rifles with rotary
magazines will quickly notice that unlike other rotary magazines,
on the Bobcat the first pellet is loaded from the backside of the
magazine by
inserting the pellet skirt first rather than head first. That "locks"
the magazine and the magazine outer cover is then turned around and the
rest of the
pellets are loaded head first in the traditional way from the front
side. It sounds a bit strange but actually works quite well.
6)
The Wildcat is a fixed power rifle. The Bobcat has a power wheel for
changing the power settings basically from low to medium to high
power.
SIMILARITIES:
1) Both guns are very quiet for the power level.
2) The power level is almost the same in both rifles give or take 1 fpe
or so. Look over
our
results and you'll quickly see that both air rifles have more than
enough
power for any hunting situation in .22 or .25 caliber.
3) Both rifles have a similar and comfortable feel to shoot when
in the shooting position.
4) For pest control and hunting, shooters will have to
take
both air rifles very seriously because they will both certainly
get the job done very efficiently. We were
pleasantly impressed with the Wildcat and the Bobcat overall. Both are
guns for the
hunters without a doubt. While you can certainly
plink and target shoot with either rifle, they are designed primarily
as hunters
and it certainly will perform that task well.

Bottom
line is that both guns are similar in power and performance.
However, the Wildcat would be the choice for shooters that want the
power and performance without paying for the additional bells and
whistles of the Bobcat. Conversely, the Bobcat would be the choice for
the shooters that want the extra bells and whistles that the Bobcat
offers. It's nice to have both options to choose from.

Reviews

I recently purchased a Theoben MFR in .20. It was tuned to run on the Beeman Kodiak heavies. Knowing that these were those I bought four tins. Should have bought 8! Exceptional shooting pellet. They were also great shooters out of another .20 cal rifle I have. A custom Lothar walther barreled Crosman. So far only shot out to 50 yards. Went through a full tin in only three days of shooting.
